xpyrate Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 ive followed the tut @ theeldergeek.com but the files that are burned onto the CD dont fit onto a CDR and I dont have a DVD burner and im thinking that I do not need 200MBs of stuff that is on the XP CD I haveif you go here:http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstream_nero_procedure.htmand scroll down to where it says "Adding The Files To Be Copied", and take a look at the picture there, you will notice a difference between that and the attached image ... the folder called USWXP32C_ZX is 200MBs or so ... and while theeldergeeks CD comes out to be about 525 MBs mine comes out to be about 722MB ... i tried just erasing all the folders and files that were obvious but the CD crashed sometime during the first part of the install where it is loading driversi am 99.9999% sure that i burned it correctlyis there a way to delete that folder? like reverse engineer the compaq OEM drivers, etc out of the install?winXP.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx7tt Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Try using nLite to remove components and drivers it works great.MSFN - Universal Windows Slipstreaming and Bootable CD GuideThis has the info you should need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTS Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I have done this exact same thing using nlite and my compaq laptop, I didnt' want all that extra crap on there, now it has everything that I want and nothing that I do not want, and it installs just like a retail copy, I even have it put in the key for me, and with SP2 included, throw the disk in, select the partition, and come back later to a nice fresh installation. Got to give it up for the creator of nlite, excelent piece of software.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx7tt Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 PS to save money on cd's you can use the iso that nLite creates with VM Ware or another VM to test the install. Alot of the VM programs also have a trial version which is more then enough to pop out one UI cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpyrate Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 thnx againbut i cant seem to integrate my mobos drivers or my sound cards drivers ... imthinking my sound cards drivers(santa cruz) might be more pain than they're worth .... but I have an intel 875 chipset and that should be easy enough but there are no "inf" files ... and what about directx? should i just stick all the "exe" files that dont extract w/ run command "c:/driverfolder/driver.exe -x" into the windows hotfixsection?

rx7tt Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Sorry I can't be much help with the driver aspect because I haven't even gone near it for my two current builds.As far as the .exe files that is a hole different aspect. It will take some time to look through everything but the unattended section will help you run any other program installs.MSFN's Unattended XP CDIf your new to unattended installs don't cheat, read from begining to end then back to the forums and then you will understand the mysteries of life...Well got to catch some shut eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
